Well, prepare to have your mind blown (and your excuses obliterated!) by today's special guest!We've got Lisa Ferris from Georgetown, Texas – a real estate investment legend who's been crushing it for years. She's a master of creative financing, fix & flips, short-term rentals, and leveraging private money. And the best part?

Wholesaling a property in three hours for $17,000 profit – and she's never looked back!Ron LeGrand's Legacy & Realtor Superpowers: Lisa credits a Ron LeGrand course for igniting her creative financing journey. As a seasoned realtor, she leverages deep market knowledge (knowing which two blocks to avoid and where to buy!) to quickly run numbers and make offers, giving her a serious edge in Central Texas (Belton, Temple, Taylor, Fort Hood) – everywhere but Austin!Win-Win Negotiations for Distressed Sellers: Learn Lisa's approach to seller financing: always offer a higher purchase price and sell the payment amount (never the interest rate!). She focuses on creating win-win scenarios where sellers feel heard and get flexible solutions, even for those with no equity or facing tough situations.Private Money Magic: Just Ask! Lisa's secret to raising capital? Simply ask! Her first private lender was a good friend at McDonald's (true story!). She views it as offering an opportunity for investors to make their money work for them, not begging. Her deals average $200K-$300K and offer 12%+ returns, because as she says, "if you have a good deal, the money is the easiest part."Why Diligence & Community Matter: Lisa uses tools like RehabValuator and creates professional reports (Canva, anyone?) to make her deals attractive. She emphasizes proactive communication with lenders (even using platforms like SiteWire for draws).

Hey, investors! Scott Carson here, and I've got a juicy deal that's hotter than a Texas summer! If your lazy assets (and maybe your self-directed IRA) are sitting idle, this is your chance to put them to work on a prime piece of Georgetown, Texas real estate. This isn't some long-haul, snail-paced investment – we're talking a six-month or less turnaround, with conservative numbers figuring in a year!This beauty is one of 48 reverse mortgages we snagged from a hedge fund. The borrower's already passed, HUD's got it cleaned out, and we're looking at a clean, well-maintained property needing just a little lipstick and a fresh coat of paint. Texas foreclosures are fast, and we've got the team ready to rock and roll. This is a potential 10% (or more!) return on your money, secured with a first lien.Here’s the breakdown on this Georgetown Goldmine:The Deceased HUD Gem: A clean, 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,348 sq ft home in Georgetown's hot 78628 ZIP code. Borrower deceased, heirs not fighting, property in good shape (interior inspection available!), needs cosmetic updates only – no structural nightmares.The Numbers Make Sense: Current legal balance: $185K. Conservative Fair Market Value: $297K. We're picking up the note for just $170K. Add back taxes and foreclosure costs, and we need $176K in funding. That's over $112K in built-in equity!Exit Strategy 1: Quick Auction Cash! With a 90-day Texas foreclosure and a $191K legal balance (after taxes), a quick auction sale is likely. You get a guaranteed 10% return on your $176K, paid out even if it sells faster than 90 days. We're talking $4,400+ interest in under three months!Exit Strategy 2: REO Flip for Bigger Bucks! If it doesn't sell at auction (our preferred scenario!), we take it back as an REO. An additional $20K for rehab (total $196K invested) for light cosmetic work. Potential net profit of $52K+ with ROI up to 20% if we're doing a one-year prepayment penalty.Due Diligence & Timeline: Full collateral file, realtor CMAs, title update, HUD interior inspection, and exterior video are all available. We're aiming for mid-December funding to kick off a February foreclosure and a March/June sale. Fast, efficient, and profitable!This isn't just another podcast episode; it's a real-time opportunity. We're looking for funding in December, so if you've got an IRA or some passive investment cash ($176K) burning a hole in your pocket, and you want 10% or more, let's talk!For the full due diligence package, comps, and all the nitty-gritty details, reach out directly!

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, investors! Scott Carson here, fresh off a laptop-free Thanksgiving (a rare feat, I know!) and ready to kick some serious butt – because the year isn't over yet! While most folks are hitting the snooze button until January 1st, we're talking about making December count. If you’re not already planning for a "14-month year" in 2026, you're already behind the eight ball. Forget flimsy New Year's resolutions; we're setting real goals and leveraging savvy strategies that'll make your competitors wonder what in the hell you're doing right!I recently dropped an episode with Corey Long (seriously, go listen to it!) that proved how AI is changing everything in business. And today, I’m showing you exactly how to integrate these game-changing tactics, plus some old-school smarts, to stand out from the crowd, raise capital, and find more deals than you can shake a stick at. Stop waiting for deals to fall into your lap, and let's get you in front of more eyeballs and earballs!In this episode, you'll learn:The Power of the Evergreen Pitch Deck: Don't just record your pitch deck once and forget it! Learn to update, record, and constantly rebroadcast it across YouTube, LinkedIn, and your email footers. It's your 24/7 offer machine, constantly working to attract investors and grow your brand.Become a Podcast Guesting Guru: Forget starting your own podcast (unless you want to!). Discover how being a guest on other people's shows is a credibility goldmine. Use tools like Listen Notes to find relevant podcasts, craft a compelling media one-sheet, and share your real-world case studies to reach new audiences and raise capital effectively.Leverage AI as Your Marketing Wingman: Say goodbye to writer's block! Learn how ChatGPT can craft compelling emails for IRA investors or perfect LinkedIn posts, saving you time and making your outreach sound professional. Zero excuses for not communicating your value!Strategic Networking & Goal Setting: Ditch the passive approach! Actively network at local REIA clubs and events (even holiday parties!). Plant seeds, collect business cards, and consistently follow up. Your "New Year" starts NOW – set 2-3 income-focused goals and use these weeks to lay the groundwork.Why You Must Adapt (or Get Left Behind): The market is changing, and doing business the "old way" is a recipe for mediocrity. Embrace AI, leverage social media, and find creative ways to get your message out. Most people aren't doing this, so when you do, you'll get results most only dream of.Look, you don't need a Harvard MBA to dominate. You just need to show up, be consistent, and leverage the tools available. The note business is booming, foreclosures are rising, and opportunities are everywhere for those prepared to seize them. Don't be that person nursing a turkey hangover in January!So, go out there, kick some ass, take some names, and get those podcast guest spots booked!

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, investors! Scott Carson here, and I'm jacked up to share this episode! You guys overwhelmingly responded to our "Adapt or Die" discussion, so I brought in the AI Jedi himself, Corey Long from Wirerock Consulting! If your lead gen, PPC, or organic search is feeling sluggish, it’s because marketing has changed. AI is here to level the playing field, and if you’re not adapting, you're becoming a dinosaur!Corey's not just talking theory; he's helped thousands of entrepreneurs revolutionize their marketing to dominate Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and voice search. The old rules are out; the new game is all about showing up first when it matters most. Get ready to turn your year into a 14-month powerhouse and ensure your real estate business doesn't just survive, but thrives in the AI era!In this episode, you'll learn:The AI Search Revolution: Discover why traditional Google rankings no longer guarantee visibility. With AI Overviews and chatbots now providing one answer, if you're not part of it, you might as well be on the tenth page of Google. This subtle shift is costing businesses up to 90% of their organic traffic!Amplify Your AI Credibility: Learn exactly where AI pulls its trusted information. Get an about.me page, optimize LinkedIn, and actively seek reviews/mentions across every platform (Yelp, Facebook, Trustpilot, even IMDB!). More diverse mentions (even without backlinks!) build authority with AI.Content Velocity is Your Superpower: Stop creating content sporadically! AI thrives on consistent, varied information. Take one piece (like this podcast!) and repurpose it into blogs, articles, FAQs, and short social posts across all your channels. AI can even help you write, making content creation faster than ever before.The Untapped Opportunity: Amazon is blocking chatbots, creating a massive vacuum for product and service sellers. Plus, with PayPal integrating into chat, direct-to-purchase within AI platforms is just around the corner. This is your chance to step into a rapidly evolving marketplace where being early is a huge advantage.Why AI Leads Convert Like Crazy: AI search users are actively seeking specific solutions, not just browsing. Corey reveals how conversion rates from AI platforms are up to 4.5 times higher than traditional sources. You don't need a million views; you need targeted, high-intent traffic, and AI delivers!Don't be overwhelmed by the AI revolution; embrace it! Corey makes it clear: you're still early to this game, and with a few strategic adjustments, you can dominate your market. As he says, "You literally have an opportunity to rank inside of AI just as easily as anybody else." Stop wasting money on outdated ad strategies.Ready to get your free AI audit and start leveraging AI to make your 2026 your most profitable year yet?

Mike stresses the vital importance of hiring a reputable contractor (not the cheapest, and definitely not you for wall-moving projects!) and the necessity of actively overseeing your rehabs to avoid "mucking up the machine."Lender Goals & Market Realities: Mike pulls back the curtain on what motivates a good hard money lender: they're in the note business, not the "loan-to-own" business!

Scott Carson here, and today we're chatting with a local Austin legend who’s bleeding burnt orange and making serious moves in real estate: Ian Noble from Runsteady Investments! Ian's journey is a Marvel origin story for the modern investor – from taking over his family's dry cleaning business right out of UT to masterfully pivoting into mobile home park syndications and private lending. If you've ever felt that entrepreneurial itch for something more, or just wanted to put your money to work (instead of letting the bank get rich off it!), this episode is your blueprint.Ian’s not just talking theory; he's built his empire by rolling up his sleeves, learning the ropes from the ground up (literally, pressing clothes!), and then leveraging that hard-earned knowledge to scale into bigger, better, and much more passive real estate plays.

Hear how his deep dive into operations, HR, and marketing provided the perfect entrepreneurial foundation for his real estate ventures, and why he found himself facing an "identity crisis" post-sale.The Mobile Home Park Gold Rush (and why it's NOT a "Trailer Park"): Prepare to have your mind changed! Ian unveils why mobile home parks are a hidden gem for investors, from providing affordable housing to enjoying incredibly long tenant retention (14 years average!). Learn how buying them can generate massive forced equity, provide strong cash flow, and offer fantastic depreciation benefits, often with lower operating expenses.Mastering Passive Investing with Syndications: Ian demystifies real estate syndications, explaining how he vets top-tier operators (he’s always the first investor in!) and pulls together capital for large-scale projects like mobile home parks. He shares why letting go of control was a mental hurdle for this entrepreneur but ultimately led to leveraging talent and maximizing returns.Become the Bank: The Power of Private Lending Funds: Explore the world of private lending through Ian's "low-risk" fund. Discover how his team funds fix-and-flippers, securing first lien positions at conservative LTVs, providing consistent 8-10% returns. It’s perfect for investors seeking stable income without market volatility – proving that sometimes, being the bank is the best gig in town!Strategic Growth & The "Give Every Dollar a Job" Philosophy: Ian shares actionable advice for aspiring investors, emphasizing that real estate is a long game and your first deal is your best teacher.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, investors! Scott Carson here, and boy, do we have a treat for you! Ever wanted to tackle Texas creative financing—think subject-to, wrap-around mortgages, and assumptions—without, shall we say, foul-ups? Good, because I've brought on the man, the myth, the legend himself: T Alan Ceshker from the Ceshker Law Firm! With over 30 years in the game and a proud 5th-generation Austinite, Alan is the go-to guy for navigating the Lone Star State's unique legal landscape. He’s helped thousands of investors get these specialized transactions right, so you don't end up with an "Amityville Horror" on your hands. If you're eyeing those sweet, low-interest mortgages and distressed borrowers, this episode is your official "Don't Screw It Up" guide!In this episode, you'll learn:Demystifying Texas Creative Financing (Alan's Way!): Alan cuts through the jargon, explaining why he calls everything a "wrap" (even assumptions and sub-to deals!) from a legal standpoint, and why "sub-to" is a term he strategically avoids. Learn the core concept: it's "just seller financing" where the existing mortgage stays, and the seller dons a new "lender" hat.Bulletproof Contracting for Texas Wraps & Assumptions: Discover Alan's ingenious "math word problem" solution for drafting contracts that account for fluctuating payoff amounts in assumptions, bypassing Paragraph 3 headaches. For wraps, it's as simple as standard seller finance! Plus, get the crucial "disclose, disclose, disclose" mantra to avoid those pesky investor amnesia cases years down the road.Taming the Due-on-Sale Beast with Trusts: Unpack the infamous due-on-sale clause—what it means, why lenders usually don't call it (but sometimes do!), and how Alan's proprietary "due on sale trust" structure leverages the Garn-St. Germain Act for protection. You'll hear about specific lenders (looking at you, Home Loan Servicing!) that raise flags and why downloading generic trust forms is a bad idea.Non-Negotiable Insurance & Legal Compliance: This is HUGE. Alan reveals the #1 reason wraps fail: incorrect insurance. Learn the exact structure (seller as additional insured, not just interest; lender as mortgagee clause) and why you must use a proven provider. Plus, understand the critical legal compliance points for Texas: RMLO requirements, the 5.016 disclosure, and the "no balloons, no ARMs" rule for baseline compliance.Pro-Tips for a Smooth Ride (and Avoiding Foreclosure): Get actionable advice for managing your deals: conference calls with sellers for lender contact, the strategic use of Power of Attorney for checks, and Alan's "6% down" rule of thumb to mitigate default risk. He also stresses the importance of continuous communication with all parties to ensure smooth sailing and happy campers.This episode with Alan Ceshker is an absolute masterclass in navigating the legal and operational intricacies of Texas creative financing. He's not just talking theory; he's giving you the battle-tested strategies to build a robust portfolio and avoid painful (and costly) mistakes. So, stop drawing deals on napkins, reach out to Alan’s team, and get ready to close some rock-solid transactions!

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, fellow real estate gladiators! Ever wondered if those sweet Airbnb profits are just a myth, or if you can actually turn a rental into a cash-flowing beast? Well, get ready, because Scott is joined by the Twin Cities' own rockstar investor, Mike Swenson! Mike's not just an amazing investor, he's a realtor-broker, a multifamily maven, and he's mastered the art of short-term rental (STR) arbitrage. We're diving deep into his journey from a foreclosed townhouse to building a robust real estate empire, including some juicy stories from the front lines of STR management. If you're looking to boost your cash flow, scale your portfolio, or just avoid cleaning up after a wild party, this episode is your golden ticket!In this episode, you'll learn:Arbitrage & Strategic Market Shift: Discover Mike's strategic pivot from Minneapolis/St. Paul's complex regulations and tenant-friendly policies to the growth potential of Southern Minnesota (hello, Mayo Clinic!). Learn how STR arbitrage became his "air game" – a brilliant way to gain experience and quick cash flow without the huge capital commitment of "slow-flip" apartment buildings.Nailing STR Profitability: The 2X Rule & Smart Due Diligence: Forget the 1% rule for traditional rentals; Mike shares how he aims for 2X the conventional rent for his short-term rentals. Get his insider tips on using tools like AirDNA for market analysis, spotting "notch above" properties (think updated kitchens & baths!), and why consistent year-round demand (near airports, attractions like the Mall of America, and business hubs) trumps seasonal "cabin country" for stable income.Landlord Hacks & Ironclad Insurance: Mike reveals his secret sauce for convincing landlords to embrace STR arbitrage – frame it as a "corporate rental" and highlight the benefits of consistent property oversight, proactive maintenance, and reliable rent. Plus, understand the crucial role of specialized landlord insurance and the necessity of your own STR policy to protect against those inevitable "hiccups" (like, say, a drug lab or a wild party!).The Unfiltered Truth of STR Operations: Cleaners, Guests & The Occasional Chaos: Prepare for the unfiltered truth about STR management! Mike breaks down the biggest operational challenges: finding and managing reliable cleaning crews (a major expense!), handling demanding guests (some expect the Four Seasons, bless their hearts!), and the constant battle against wear and tear (RIP that toilet paper holder!). Learn why banning one-night and same-day local bookings became his hard-earned golden rule to dodge party animals and less-than-desirable tenants.Scaling Smart: From Side Hustle to Empire & Your Next Steps: Mike reflects on his journey, explaining why arbitrage was his training ground and how he eyes future growth by owning STR properties for long-term appreciation or scaling into hospitality ventures. He offers crucial advice: truly understand your numbers (margins can shrink!), don't scale too fast, and always include lease clauses to protect yourself from changing STR regulations. Remember, it's not truly passive until you build the right leverage!So there you have it, folks! Mike Swenson's deep dive into the dynamic world of short-term rentals and multifamily investing proves that with strategy, resilience, and a good sense of humor, you can navigate the ups and downs of real estate. From dodging party planners to mastering landlord relations, his insights are pure gold. Ready to grab some of that cash flow for yourself and maybe even build an apartment empire? Connect with Mike and let his journey inspire your own. Go out, take some action, and let's turn those properties into cash cows (preferably without the weed smokers!).

In this episode, I'm peeling back the curtain on my biggest takeaway from the Laughlin and Associates Magnify Your Wealth Summit: AI is rocking real estate marketing, and if you're not paying attention, you're missing out. Website traffic is down, Facebook engagement is tanking, and Google's AI is now answering questions directly, bypassing traditional search results. But here's the good news: this levels the playing field! You, yes YOU, can become "AI searchable" and attract more deals and capital with minimal effort.I'll share exactly how we're adapting and how you can too, even if you hate being on camera (or have a "tiny holes tightened up" feeling about tech).Here’s what you’ll learn to boost your note business:AI's Search Revolution: Understand why direct AI answers are replacing traditional website clicks and how this impacts your online presence.Your New "Real Estate": Discover why fresh written, audio, and video content is the most valuable asset AI is looking for.Low-Hanging Fruit: LinkedIn Newsletters: Learn how to use this free tool to deliver content directly to your audience's inboxes and appear in AI searches.ChatGPT & Gemini for Content Creation: My simple, repeatable process for generating 52 weeks of SEO-rich blog topics and entire posts from transcriptions in minutes.Why You Can't Afford to Wait: How consistent, AI-friendly content builds credibility, attracts asset managers, and helps you stand out from the 99.9% of investors who won't do this.This isn't just theory; it's the cutting edge. Stop thinking of AI as intimidating and start embracing it to catapult your business. Because when people search for "who is [your name]?", you want them to know you know what the "shit hell you're talking about!" Schedule 15-30 minutes a week, folks. It's a game-changer. Let's get you found, funded, and frankly, famous in your niche.#RealEstateInvesting #NoteInvesting #AIMarketing #SEO #LinkedInNewsletter #ChatGPT #WealthBuilding #ContentMarketing #InvestorTips #PodcastWatch the Original VIDEO HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join the Note Closers Show community today:WeCloseNotes.comThe Note Closers Show FacebookThe Note Closers Show TwitterScott Carson LinkedInThe Note Closers Show YouTubeThe Note Closers Show VimeoThe Note Closers Show InstagramWe Close Notes Pinterest

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, everyone! The news is buzzing with President Trump's 50-year mortgage idea for housing affordability. While the media churns drama, on The Note Closers Show, we stick to numbers. And the numbers, ladies and gentlemen, never lie.We dug into this mortgage innovation with calculators (and a little AI!). Is a 50-year mortgage a brilliant strategy for real estate investors and first-time homebuyers, or an endless interest trap? Forget media drama; let's talk facts about interest rates, equity growth, and smart real estate investment in today's housing market, especially for Texas real estate.Here's what we uncovered in this episode:50-Year Mortgage: Lower Payments, Broader Access. We dissect payment differences across 15, 30, 40, & 50-year terms. Saving over $266/month on a $386K mortgage (at 6.25%) significantly boosts your debt-to-income ratio, opening homeownership doors to more.Flexibility is King: Strategic Wealth Building. The longer term offers financial flexibility. Use monthly savings (not just for takeout!) to aggressively tackle high-interest debt, invest for higher returns, or build emergency funds. This gives you control, empowering strategic real estate investment choices.Equity Growth: Appreciation Outpaces Interest. Debunking the "too much interest" myth: real estate appreciation is the true wealth builder. A $400K home, appreciating at 4% annually, can hit $526K in 7 years. Your equity grows faster than extra interest, proving property values are key, not fear-mongering.Renting vs. Owning: Build Wealth or "Not Own Sh!t." The rent-vs-buy debate continues. Renting seems cheaper, but 20 years of rent means missing massive home equity and wealth accumulation. Your home is your investment office; don't delay entry while property values soar.Strategic Homeownership: Get In, Grow, Recast. Your first home isn't forever. The strategy: enter an affordable property with a longer mortgage (e.g., in Austin, Texas). As income/market grow, refinance or recast. This leverages average 7-8 year homeowner moves, maximizing market advantage & avoiding mortgage debt pitfalls.This isn't endless payment; it's about getting in the game, building real estate wealth, and navigating life's curveballs. For real estate investors, homeowners, and anyone wanting informed decisions (math, not melodrama!), this episode is for you. Take action, buddy!

He candidly shares the painful lesson of losing $10,000 on a laundromat deal due to a ghosting partner, emphasizing the critical importance of contracts and proof of funds. This segment is a masterclass in learning the hard way, so you don't have to!The Eureka Moment: Why Note Investing Beat Being a Landlord. Tired of the tenant troubles and property headaches associated with traditional real estate, Brian found his calling in mortgage note investing. He explains how attending a seminar completely shifted his perspective, revealing a path to passive income and business building that aligned perfectly with his goals, without the ongoing demands of property management.Brian's Blueprint: Target Markets, Yields, and Performing Notes. Get the inside scoop on Brian's current note investing strategy. He focuses on acquiring performing notes with target yields of 12-15% and deal sizes typically ranging from $50,000 to $150,000.

Brian shares how wearing his "passive income" hat sparks conversations, and why being open about his learning process – even sharing mistakes like the $10K loss – builds far more credibility than pretending to know everything. He also highlights the importance of networking in ambitious cities like San Diego, where capital and connections abound.Brian Royster is a testament to the fact that you don't have to be a grey-haired guru to dive deep into real estate.
